Thought I’d share a few photos I took of the gorgeous orchids at the Exotic Plant Company at Môreson Wine Farm in Franschhoek. I love everything about these structured, elegant plants. Their bright exotic appeal is right up my street however I can’t say I’m a fan of the bright royal blue orchid seen in one of my pics below. This plant has been injected with a blue dye to give it the blue colour but once the flowers die and you cut it back, it will bloom regular white flowers thereafter. Strange concept if you ask me, I’d rather stick to what’s natural.

All photography: by myself
